Blogging - Yes, it's been a while!

So it's been a few weeks since I've made time for blogging. I don't have any excuses. Pure laziness.

I've been reading quite a bit on my Kindle Touch that my husband purchased for me for Christmas. I am loving it!

I have a few photos to share from the holidays.

These are some photos from Christmas Day. We had Tommy, Megan and Chazen over for Christmas Day and they brought Chazen's gifts with them so he could open them here.

Melanie, Jason and Jacob stopped in for two days before heading to Arizona. It was really nice having them here, although the time was short.

 Just foolin' around!

Christmas was quite different this year. We didn't put out a Christmas tree but I did decorate around the house. Income wise has been scarce for a while now but we always manage to pull through with our faith in tact. 

Now on an uplifting note, I have been self evaluating and have come to terms with many things about myself and have decided to make some HUGE changes in my life. I feel like I've made some deep progress since December 28th, 2011. That was the day that I made my decision on my life and my future. I wanted my life to be HAPPY and MEANINGFUL and SELF-INSPIRING and with the help of some very dear angels things are beginning to turn around for me and I'm LOVING every moment of it. I'm using new tools for my beautiful path that I'm creating. I will share a few of them here.

I've been writing a lot! I have a notebook that I write in every single day. On the "even" days I write three things about me or my life that are POSITIVE. Afterwords I read them aloud. This has been very healing for me. On the "odd" days I write things that are bothering me and/or NEGATIVE. I read them aloud and then I have a ritual that I use and that is going out on my back porch with my candle lighter and the ripped page from the "odd" day and set it in the wheel barrel to set it on FIRE! I stand there over it and watch it burn till there is nothing left. I'm moving forward!!! 

I can honestly say that my healing process is truly affecting my attitude towards life. My calendar is filling up. I'm attending a "Genius Bootcamp" next week for two full days. I have a phone conference next Monday with a Life Coach that I'm really looking forward to.

I'm learning about GENSHAI which means the following  "never to treat others, or yourself, in a way to make them feel small" in other words, holding all people in their excellence, including yourself.

I am going to write down in my planner the days that I will be blogging so as to 'remind' myself and keep everything up to date.

With all of that, I just have to say one thing - THANK YOU!!
